Lyrics Delancey Street - Rachael Sage

Delancey Street

well I almost got off at Delancey Street
for to see my Vera Anne
well I almost got off at Delancey Street
then I thought much better of it
for she held my heart in the palm of her hand
and she shattered it onto the sidewalk
then she did a dance that was graceful and cruel
she was murderous as she was sweet
well I almost got off at Delancey Street
for to see my Vera smile
well I almost got off at Delancey Street
it had been so many a mile
well a mile is a thing that is deep as it’s long
it will make you forgive all your sorrow
it will make you forget everything you once felt
it will bring you slowly to your knees
well I almost got off at Delancey Street
where the F train arrives at the sky
well I almost got off at Delancey Street
for to see if my Vera could cry
for she held my heart in the palm of her soul
and she shattered it onto the sidewalk
then she rollerskated in circles around
everything I had ever believed
